    Default Body hair >.<

    So, I'm caramel skinned and have dark hair.
    I have dark hair on my legs and my arms. The legs, obviously, aren't too bad to get rid of (shaving, waxing, etc).

    My arm hair is what gets me though. I've shaved it off before and I like how it looks, but I'm not sure if people are going to believe I have bare ass arms (seeing as most everyone has a LITTLE hair everywhere).

    Would waxing them be way too weird?

    I wax my arms with nice, not, sticky wax.

    i remember a friend in high school waxed hers (cuz she was a stoner, not for any particular reason). It actually looked pretty good. Really smooth!! Some people have barely any hair at all- my mom looks like a chemo patient. She has hair on her head, but the rest of her is almost bald (barely any eyebrows, practically no leg or arm hair). I'd say go for it.

    I realize I will NEVER be 100&#37; hair free. I have thick hair on my head, and if I let my leg hair go...well, it's pretty bad. My friend has about as much hair except it's not dark (so it's not noticable unless she points it out). My mom suggested bleaching it....I just laughed. Mixed girl with blond arm hairs is a lot stranger than waxing them imo.

    I think I'm going to look in those Asian beauty shops that do waxing. Might get my legs/bikini and arms done. How much is waxing anyways, I'm sure it differs places.

    Also, how do you go about a waxing routine? I'd probably want to be damn near hair free all the time. Every 4 weeks? 6? I know the hair has to be a certain length.

    i actually wax my own arms - if you can stand inflicting that on yourself, it's not too hard to do

    Yeah I shave my arms if I had the time I would totally wax them, and if I had the money I would just get laser hair removal. I actually think I am gonna do that after my brazillian and armpits are done.

    Well, people don't believe we are naturally hair-free on our legs, either. "Natural" isn't really the look we girls go for I guess! There's nothing wrong with shaving them... but keeping up on them is a pain in the butt! When I shaved mine, I had to do it every day. I bleach them now because I don't always have time to shave mine in the morning... But boy, I'd like to! I used to have them waxed (every two weeks) but that got expensive and I didn't really like letting them grow that long (even though it doesn' have to be that long... not even half an inch).
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    I have been shaving my arms since I was about 14 and despite the fact that many people have warned me that I would end up with thicker hair for shaving, this has not happened.

    I wax mine in the summer! I just do it at home (while the man is at work ) with strips that already have the wax on them. Super easy and not that painful! Take a couple ibuprofens an hour or so beforehand.

    Hairless arms are sexy! I'm actually getting permanent hair reduction with IPL on my arms(and all over my body), and I have darker skin as well. IPL is an option for darker skin, if you're interested.

    Use a roll-on formula. Oh, get a formula that has actual wax, not that sissy sugaring stuff that you microwave. Get a heater and some real wax. One Touch has been serving me well for years.

    I am blonde (natural) so I have real fine and light hair on my arms and its not a problem however on my legs and "bikini" are a I use VEET, same as Nair but i like veet better. Hair is thinner when it grows back and takes longer. I used it on my pubes and it grew back softer and lighter. Once it got softer and thinner i started using a razor down there again, razor burn was not an issue anymore.

    Ooo wax already on the strips?! That's fabulous, where the hell do you get those? I'm excited cause the Sally Hansen shit that you glob all over your legs, then the strips all the while making a huge mess just aint working out.

    How do you heat the wax on the strips?

    Yeah, that shit does work...but, I've had some horrible expiriences with the microwave wax.

    TOTALLY off topic, but how do you quote different people in one post? I still haven't figured it out and I'm computer literate.

    i use the wax strips from avon! i love them and a lot of other girls tell me they love them... they come stuck together and you warm them between your hands and peel them apart and you've got 2 wax strips, and they're nice and big for a large area..

    Nad's and Gigi also have these pre-waxed strips. I love them so much! I can't imagine using the regular waxing kits now. It's so much cheaper, too. I've been able to find the Nad's ones at rite aid lately, and a $10 box of strips does both my arms, with a couple of strips left over. Sometimes I use them for my bikini area, and they work pretty well there, too.

    I'm always in Toronto when I do it, so here I get it at Shoppers Drug Mart. I think you could probably pick it up at any CVS, Walgreens, etc. They were sorta like this:




    The directions say to warm them between your hands, but I just blast it with the blowdryer for a few moments and they work great. Make sure you get some azulene oil for afterwards - some come with it and some don't, but it really helped to soothe my arms.

    Just waxed my arms last night using this kit:



    The comfort spray was really great, very soothing. Took about 10 minutes and now I have smooth sexy arms. Highly suggest this to anyone who hates their arm hair.
